The $50 million secondary growth fund provides accredited investors access to U.S. Defense, Energy, Security and AI Investments
NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2025 / Alto, an alternative asset investment platform enabling individuals to invest in private markets using their retirement funds, today announced that Alto Securities, its affiliated broker-dealer, has added IPO CLUB’s AMERICA 2030 Fund to the offerings available on the Alto Marketplace.
AMERICA 2030 is a $50 million secondary growth fund focused on U.S. defense, energy, security, and artificial intelligence (AI) – key industries driving America’s industrial and technological resurgence. The fund provides accredited investors access to high-growth private companies, capitalizing on reshoring, supply chain realignment, and government-backed initiatives.
“At Alto, we strive to make investing in alternative assets as seamless and accessible as possible,” said Scott Harrigan, President of Alto. “By offering IPO CLUB’s AMERICA 2030 Fund on our platform, we provide investors with an opportunity to gain exposure to high-growth sectors that are shaping the future of the U.S. economy.”
With a six-year target maturity in 2030, AMERICA 2030 acquires Series B+ venture-backed companies at speculative valuations, offering the potential for attractive returns with opportunities for liquidity through secondary transactions, subject to market conditions.
Unlike traditional venture capital, which relies on IPOs or acquisitions for liquidity, AMERICA 2030 leverages the secondary market to allow more flexible exits. The fund targets approximately 30 private companies in secondary transactions, with 30% of capital reserved for follow-on opportunities in the primary market.
Key investment focus areas include:
-
Defense & Dual-Use Technologies – AI-driven surveillance, autonomous systems, and robotics.
-
Energy Security & Industrial Reshoring – Next generation nuclear, rare earth supply chains, and energy grid modernization.
-
Cybersecurity – Protecting critical digital and physical infrastructure.
-
Supply Chain Resilience & Semiconductor Manufacturing – U.S.-based production supporting AI and secure communications.
“The U.S. is experiencing a once-in-a-century industrial transformation,” said Edoardo Zarghetta, General Partner of AMERICA 2030. “Through Alto’s SDIRA platform, accredited investors can now participate in this shift by using retirement funds to invest in private companies that are building America’s future.”
